ETS-Lindgren manufactures RF shielding doors. Doors are one of the most
active and, therefore, the most vulnerable components of any reverb chamber.
The instructions in this section must be followed to retain the RF integrity of the
enclosure.
General Precautions
Do not slam the door to start engaging the
fingers. This is not necessary with the
ETS-Lindgren latching mechanism and could
result in damage to the latch roller assembly.
Do not shove or kick the door when opening.
The contact finger pressure release is
performed entirely by the ETS-Lindgren
latching mechanism.
Do not attempt to close the door with the
handle rotated in the full stop or closed
position. This may break off the latching roller
pins.
Do not exert excess pressure on the door
handle. A nominal force of 25 lb is all that is
required until full stop or full open positions are
reached. Excessive forces could result in
broken latch pins.
If the closing or opening forces become
excessive, the door should be serviced.
See
Maintenance on page 9 for information on recommended door
maintenance, including steps to replace and repair finger stock.
